How often for cardio?
Sorry if this topic has been posted, but
How often to you guys do
Aerobic.
Anaerobic.
Plyometric training.
Right now I am trying to do it 7 days a week 3 days Anaerobic, 2 days Aerobic and 2 days plyo,
all first thing in the morning. Is that a good amount, or should I throw in a day of rest?

Re: How often for cardio?
On the Anaerobic days, I go balls to the wall sprint, run, sprint, run, spint run, until I feel like I'm gonna puke (or if i actually do puke)Originally Posted by Scrap
On the Aerobic days I just casually jog until it's time for me to get ready for work usually about 30-45 minutes,
On the plyometric days I usually do all my exercises to failure (burpees, squat thrusts, side jumps, calf raises, clap-ups, broad jumps)
As far as what I'm training for I don't want to really be a boxer, but I want to look like one!!

Re: How often for cardio?
Well, like i said, I'm not really training to be a boxer, I just want a boxers physique.
Why do you not believe me? Maybe I should clarify.......
I am extremely out of shape so working out to failure doesn't take very long.
I am also extremely focused on losing weight, so far I have lost 17 lbs in 5 weeks.
Thanks to all the guys on this forum for helping with my diet.
So I guess back to my original question......should I take a day off from cardio, or is it
ok to do it everyday. I would also like to see other peoples routines, so I can compare.
This is all very new to me as I have always been out of shape and lazy.

Re: How often for cardio?
Okay the type of work you discribe is crazy considering you are not arobicly fit. by the sound of it. getting fit takes time, you need a sound base to work from which at the moment you havent got. To get it takes time, all you should be doing at the moment is steady state work to biuld your arobic tollerence to a level that you wont injure yourself. all you should be trying for is to feel good. then take it a step at a time, longish walks to start no impact nice little stretch routines, get into a bike spinning class start slow finnish fast. remember the saying no pain no gain, biggest load of bollocks ever spoken.

Re: How often for cardio?
Thanks for the advice, I will definately take it to heart, although I have noticed a dramatic increase in stamina doing it this way. Maybe you are right though, I will take it easy for a few weeks and see how I feel.

Well right now I look like the michelin tire man, so at least I'll get closer!!You won't look like a boxer with out punching anything...
Once I get into shape I may look into joining a boxing gym, but that's another story for another day.
Again thanks for the advice guys cc's to AdamGB and scrap

Re: How often for cardio?
I always try to take at least 2 days off 3 at the most. I lift weights 3 days and cardio 4 or 5 depending how many days I take off. With the weights I do lighter weights with 15 reps for 3 sets. I am still trying to build my cardio up so I alternate between running and fast walking on a treadmill for cardio. Not much but seems to work for the time I have.

Re: How often for cardio?
I would always encourage my fighters by giving yourself 1 day off a week.....I would usually make it a sunday....the body needs time to completely mend and this way you will discourage overtraining....shin splints suck a**....Well, like i said, I'm not really training to be a boxer, I just want a boxers physique.

Your heart doesn't know what exercise you are doing just that you're doing something. Mix it up so you don't get bored mentally.
